LeapFrog 80-19269E Learn and Groove Musical Table Activity Center, Multi

Product Information

If I could, it would be to make the narrow gaps between the piano keys easier to clean. It is a small criticism, but the spaces can become something of a food trap and are hard to get to with a cloth or sponge. If you are meticulous at ensuring your child has no food while playing with the table it won't be a problem, but it is amazing how many rogue raisins can slip by a mother's watchful eye and be pushed into the little gaps! Tested by mum Sophie Quinn for the Mother & Baby Awards 2018: Choose from a variety of instruments like piano or xylophone or playful sound effects like meows and giggling. The LeapFrog Learn and Groove Activity Station is an interactive, five-station, stationary activity centre that rewards every movement with upbeat music, fun sounds, lights and dance beats. Learn to the beat with the Learn & Groove® Caterpillar Drums™ with the light-up, twistable body, wiggly feet and spinning tail rattle. Three electronic drums and three play modes teach kids about letters, counting, music, songs, tempo and the musical scale. Create your own music with traditional drum sounds, animal sounds and silly sounds. Play the Count-a-pillar game to practice counting to 20 or tap drums to play along to the ABC song, letter by letter. Follow the flashing drums to play along to 11 favorite children's songs and three classical pieces. Learn about tempo by speeding up and slowing down the "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" song, or play the musical scale note by note. Get in the learning groove! I would! This product, above all the others on the market, looks much more sturdy. The French setting is unique, and the buttons and functions are really good for babies to explore their different senses like touching and listening. I think this product is amazing, and is definitely worth the money.

It would be useful if you could adjust the height, as my son is quite tall, and I find he often has to reach down and bend his knees to be able to play with the functions on top of the table. However, if he then sits down, he isn't quite high enough to see it properly. Tested by mum Stacey Scourfield for the Mother & Baby Awards 2018:Get up and move with the musical Learn & Groove Dancing Panda™! Watch Panda shake, dance and spin around to the music. The LED screen on his guitar lights up with shapes, letters and numbers with four play modes. Play Freeze Dance and other games to explore the learning content. Press the musical instrument buttons on Panda’s light-up shoes to hear a saxophone, trumpet, drum and guitar. Toggle the bridge switch to scroll through numbers 1-10 and letters A-Z, while the whammy-bar music button on Panda’s guitar selects dozens of different tunes, including songs about numbers, shapes, letters and musical instruments. Intended for ages 9+ months. Requires 4 AA batteries. Batteries included for demo purposes only. New batteries recommended for regular use.

A bag to carry or store the in would be useful, and though I like the simple vocabulary and the choice of languages provided, I would like further learning opportunities, such as a wider range of shapes and colours. Product Information Shake up learning with the Learn & Groove® Shakin’ Colors Maracas™! One maraca includes colorful shaker beads and the other features a light-up dome that changes colors and plays maraca sound effects. This musical toy includes three play modes that introduce colors, numbers and music. Little ones can add rattling sounds to the songs that play, count from 1-10 with every shake and press the six light-up buttons to hear color and instrument names. Switching between English and Spanish mode lets kids explore all of the content in both languages. Intended for ages 6+ months. Requires 1 AA battery. Battery included for demo purposes only, new battery recommended for regular use. I would! It has more longevity than other products, with my six-month-old baby as well as toddlers and children up to two or three years old all being entertained and engaged by it! There is a large variety of sounds, songs and educational features in both English and French, all of which ensure that neither babies nor toddlers grow bored with it, the added bonus being that it is less annoying to parents as it isn’t just the same one or two sounds all the time. It’s easy to transport, as it was so straightforward to remove and attach the four legs. I would, as it has lots of different sounds, lights and colours, and is great for both younger and older children. It can be used with or without the legs, so can function either as a musical pad or a musical table. It is also very simple to use, so great for older children to use alone.The only thing I would change would be to increase its height. My 17-month-old is not very tall but still has to bend slightly to use the musical table, which could be slightly uncomfortable when using it for quite a while. Tested my mum Fiona Murdoch for the Mother & Baby Awards 2018:

My 17-month-old can play with this by herself, allowing me to carry on with other things. It has loads of different sounds and colours that she really enjoys, and is very easy to use. The French setting is a really good idea as well, helping to incorporate different languages into their vocabulary. OK, so this isn't the cheapest 'toy' in the world - it's the sort of thing you'd buy as a main present or have given TO you as a present for the baby.If I really had to, I’d say that instead of the legs being detachable, maybe they could fold underneath, which would save you having to store the legs when not in use. Tested by mum Charlotte Adams for the Mother & Baby Awards 2018: The activity station is for little ones who can hold their heads upright unassisted - so around four months old and until they can walk. The light-up LED screen on Panda's guitar flashes with letters, numbers and shapes that go with the activities. Make learning fun for your little one with our amazing range of interactive toys. Those early months and years are so important for your child when it comes to their learning and development, and all our options are designed to facilitate this with bright colours, interactive activities, and stimulating sounds. From baby phones to activity stations and interactive readers, there's something here for each child. Why not look at our laptops for kids? I like that this product can be used from a young age and that it feels sturdy and safe for both a baby and a toddler. It’s great that it can be used as a floor toy and as a table, and I think it would make a good Christmas or birthday present. I do feel there are baby walkers and other toys on the market that provide similar functions and perhaps a wider variety of learning opportunities, but such products are often more expensive than the Learn and Groove musical table. Overall, this product is good value for money and my baby enjoys playing with it.
